CSV Conversion Tool Link is Dead

[Kyle]

Hey guys, been trying to get the CSV functionality to work, but without success. Seems my attempts to find a compatible utf-8 encoder are failing. Note that the link on the screen seems to be dead: http://i-tools.org/charset/exec?dest=utf-8&src=auto&download=1 . Are there any others you recommend?

Howdy Kyle,

Thank you for pointing out that dead link. We will see about getting that fixed in an upcoming version.

You should be able to convert your CSV file using any advanced notepad program. Are you on Windows? Notepad++ allows you to open a file of most any encoding, and then save it as utf-8. Once you have opened the file you will see an Encoding menu at the top which will allow you to convert it, once converted just save the file. If you are on a Mac here are a few alternatives: http://tamanmohamed.blogspot.com/2012/11/mac-alternatives-to-notepad-on-mac-os-x.html

Did that help you successfully convert the file?

Kyle,

Yesterday I got in touch with the gentleman who runs that website, the one with the malfunctioning conversion tool. He acknowledged the error and has already fixed it! So, you should be able to use the online conversion tool now as well.

Please let us know if you are now able to convert it. We light to ensure our recommended tools are working right. Thanks!
